It was refreshing to shop at a small, locally owned business where I could touch and feel the clothing before purchasing. Many of the brands they carry are high-quality American or European brands, brands that you won't find at big box clothing stores. Susan, the owner, was very helpful and kind from the moment we walked in. She took a genuine interest in helping us find the right pieces and explained the materials the clothing was made of. I highly recommend this place!

The Blue Horse is a beautiful, independently owned children's boutique. They sell the loveliest…read morelittle embroidered dresses and sweaters. Their sizes range from newborns to older kids. They have special occasion dresses for a baptism or first communion. Their casual dresses and outfits are adorable, however the cost is a bit high considering these are for the growing child. Personally, I think a $75 casual summer dress for a five year old, isn't the most consumer friendly purchase. Maybe your child's special birthday dress, could come from The Blue Horse. Additionally they also sell children's books and licensed stuffed animals. The Blue Horse is located in Downtown Mystic.

Definitely stop in for personal service and unique children's items.

The shop is very well organized, toys are well kept and wrapped nicely together, and there were a lot of luxury brand clothing, gently used. They coin themselves they are West Hartford's finest children's consignment shop. The pricing was fair for most items (toys, decor, etc), but clothing seemed a bit high. They do have a rewards/loyalty program which I signed up for--I got 10% off my first purchase AND $5 off. Also, if you are local or close by they have 10% off Tuesdays. The young ladies that rang us up were very nice. I'd likely visit again since the shop is very clean. A lot of second hand children shops are cluttered, disorganized, and have a strange smell. I do love Max & Lily's Closet's mission to go green and reuse.

Before our son was born some years ago, we gave him a placeholder name of "Ichabod." As in Ichabod…read moreCrane and the Headless Horseman. Yeah, weird, but we had fun with it. We didn't want to go public with the actual name we'd chosen for him before he was born, and for the purposes of this review, I'll refer to him as Ichabod. Hey, it's nostalgic. After "Ichabod" was born, one of the nicest baby gifts we received was from our cousins - a soft white towel with colorful trains on it, and his name on it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FVluLU0ipBv3FoeRsBmo1g?select=-bfU5BxCC7DGP8EsUxeJLA Ichabod is not a common name, so it's not like our cousins just picked it up at the store. Our son loves his train towel, and uses it after every bath. Our friends just had a baby and named her Paisley. We thought this would be a perfect present for her. We called my cousin so we could give this great gift to our friends. It comes in a variety of colors and designs (butterflies, fairies, ducks, fire trucks, dinosaurs, zoo animals, fish, sailboats, etc.), and you can have other things personalized, including: * Towels * Hooded towels * Bibs * Spa wrap * Holiday stocking * Pail and shovel This makes a thoughtful gift for any kid and is very high quality. You can order online or over the phone. Ichabod loves his unique towel, and I think we'll buy others - especially for other kids with unusual names.

When Jennifer L. wrote her review of this site I bookmarked it. A dear friend of Tam's was…read morepregnant and I thought this would be a fine place to buy her baby a gift. After he was born I ordered a towel w/ sailboats and his name on it. I ended up calling to order it rather than going through the site because I don't like PayPal, which they use. It's a long story. Don't ask. The woman I spoke to was friendly and warm. She was a little apologetic that it would take maybe three weeks, I told her not to worry about it, that I'd waited this long to contact her and could wait a little longer. We agreed the baby wouldn't know the difference. The towel arrived while we were in KC and I opened it last night when we got home. It is a gorgeous blue, soft and beautifully crafted. I just love it and so will Mommy and Baby, I think. Enclosed was a sweet note w/ another apology for the wait and a coupon for a discount on my next order. Well, I have a little great niece who will be turning 2 this summer and could use a towel w/ her name on it. I look forward to choosing the color and design. This will not be my last purchase here. I think the prices are extremely reasonable and the website gives you a good sense of her products, which Jennifer lists in more detail in her review.

Lark is a woman's boutique, they sell quality sweaters, purses and other cashmere and wool accessories. There are so many other little accessories, like unique fair trade earrings, and hair accessories. They also have a whole assortment of decor for your home or your Christmas tree. These are my favorite. From little knit bears to a not so little wooden deer. The little knickknacks are truly so unique and equally as adorable. What else is adorable? They have a baby section at Lark. From the tiny holiday dresses, to the softest plushies, and so many toys and books. The one reason I can't give five stars to Lark is the cost, everything is a pretty penny here. If you're looking for cashmere gloves, or some moon and star earrings, this is your place.
